Cooperative Garden

GARDENING IN THE COMMUNITY

We have two cooperative gardens where we produced over three and a half tons of food in the last two years. Volunteers enjoy first dibs and remaining produce is donated to neighborhood families directly or via local food pantries.

In Spring 2015, we partnered with Lutheran Services in Iowa to provide gardening space to refugee and immigrant families. In this program, each family receives garden space to grow their own food while cooperatively working in a designated section of the garden to raise food to donate to the community.
